Universe to continue Expansion

[AlfredJPruffock]

What is the universe expanding into?

Does that mean there is something the other side contracting?

If there is something on the other side that is contracting, then should we consider these alien contractors a threat to our market?

We need to stop the alien contractors before the EU makes us employ them. I say we upload a virus to the alien contractors mainframe.

Yet another matter which keeps me up at night. Us and Them.

Its not just the fact that the Aliens will work for smaller rates - as they can time-travel (but only in four dimensions) they can start and finish a contract on the same day and bill the client for six months - meanwhile youve been left at the starting gate.

Even if we manage to upload a virus to the Alien Mainframe - we dont have a chance lads.

Aliens will take our jobs - like it or not.

Why doesnt the Government do something ??!!!!!

It's getting worse; I didn't realise they could time travel.
Do you think their spaceship has a USB connection?

Quite possibly.

The mothership in Independence Day could be infected by a virus from a Macbook so I expect alien computer systems are fully compatible.

Hang on FSM - its not that bad - they can only Time Travel with a Time Machine - theyre not that clever.

Just checked out the MotherShip - bad news is its an RS232 port - so obsolete that weve got nowt to interface with that - even worse , even if we could theyre running the latest McAwful anti-virus suite.

And they watched Independence Day a few years ago on a hokey DVD - so theyre wise to our wee tricks.

This - my beautiful Friends - is The End .

I have an old VMS Vax Terminal in the loft maybe we could hook that into their RS232 port and use an acoustic coupler, war games style, to hack into their AlienWare Mainframe, then we could spike thier CPU's and blow'em to bits.

Yeah, Yeah... lets do this.

Oh wait, I don't have an old fashion Telephone to put into the acoustic coupler. Darm

... its a long shot - but it just might work.

Good film up to that bit - then it was drowned out by the guffawing of a million geeks.
Another ridiculous IT related plot device was Phantom Menace when they take out the command ship causing all the robots to switch off.
Any others?

No, no, don't get us started

Just shows how mysterious and incomprehensible basic computers are to the vast majority - film makers included.

Just got back from a meeting.

Is the mothership destroyed yet?

Has someone tried reversing the polarity?
